FOSK

FOSK (Free and Open Source Knowledge) is a collection of tech-related books and webpages that are free to read.

I much prefer to study using books. Even though I enjoy taking classes (including video lectures) to get introduced to a new subject, I find that deeper knowledge is always restricted to written media, digital or not. Therefore I'm refraining from adding video courses to this list.

Also, if you're just starting out learning a subject, it's far easier to find a good video - or series of videos - than it is to find a good book.

Topics are listed in alphabetical order. Topics' contents are listed in the order which they were added.

Note

This project was born out of my necessity to find good study material for my self-taught journey.

Hopefully, it will help you during yours.
